Fully Automatic Fluorescence Photomicrography - Only by Olympus

Automatic / E;;tz;icrowaDhv I

The PM30 features the exclusive Super FL Auto mode that ensures foolproof I photomicrography for fluorescence microscopy, which presents extremr difficult parameters. The normal Au mode and a host of other convenient features facilitates trouble-free photlm micrography for all other microscoF techniques.

l Super FL Auto mode, made possible by the unique PM30 sensor, with fully automatic exposure control for fluorescence photomlcrography.

l Auto mode assures superb results for brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast and Nomarski DIC.

l Three exposure measurement areas: 0.1% micro-spot and 1% spot as well as 30% field averaging.

l Auto-bracketing function allows sequential photos with automatrcally increased and decreased exposure times.

@Storage of data settings in internal memory or on optional memory cards.

0 RS-232C port for computerized control. l Built-in alphanumeric data imprinting

control for 35mm and Polarord camera formats.

l Bullt-ln bright frame intensity control to facilitate composition against a dark observation field.

l Easy-to-use compact control unit, with data called-up via the convenient Jog dial and a large backlit LCD screen.

Super FL Auto - Faultlessfluorescence photomicrographyUtilizing the two-dimensional CCD, com-prising an array of 400 individual detectorsin the 30% average metering area, SuperFL Auto calculates the precise exposureby measuring only the light from thoseportions of the fluorescence specimenthat exhibit illumination. The Charge-Coupled Device features a response

curve that IS similar to the human eye,and it is the heart of this advancedsystem. Absolutely precise fluorescencephotomicrographs can easily be taken,under virtually any conditions, withoutthe need for manual exposure compen-sation.

Helpful Functions for Smooth Photomicrography

Example of data imprinting

selected from a choice of 72, includingsingle digit numbers, upper case andlower case letters, or 10 specialsymbols. Imprinters are available for35mm or Polaroid instant film.(Control function is built into PM30)

A wide selection of camerasVarious attachments are provided toaccept a 35mm camera with auto filmadvance, large-format camera, as wellas 3-1/4 " x 4-1/4 " Polaroid camera.

Automatic DX code setting of IS0When a PM-C35DX camera with DX codecompatibility is used with either PM30 orPM20, the camera’s IS0 film speed canbe set automatically to match the film.In addition, film loading, winding andrewinding are carried out automatically,another time-saving benefit. With thePM30, the type of camera in use isautomatically detected and the format isdesignated accordingly. This eliminatesthe need for manual resetting everytime the camera is changed, thus savingthe operator time and reducing thechance of error.

Bright frame viewfinder

Bright frame for simple framing ofdark specimensThe bright frame control capabilityilluminates the reticle lines of the filmformat frame in the bright frameviewfinder to facilitate focusing andframing against a dark background,such as in darkfield and fluorescenceobservations. The frame color can beswitched between yellow and red, withadjustable brightness.(Control function is built into PM30)

Color temperature module

Color temperature moduleThis high-sensitivity module permitsaccurate measurement of colortemperature even at low illuminationlevels. An LED scale indicates thereference point, against which thereading will be calibrated. Colortemperature can be measured in therange of 2,500” to 10,000” Kelvin.
